Root-locus algorithms for microcomputers

root-finding routine (Melsa, 1970; N-Nagy and AlTickriti, 1972; Richard et al, 1979; Thomas, 1976; and Vernon, 1967). However, if a microcomputer is used, attempts to generate root-locus plots with a root-finding routine usually prove unsuccessful. The reason is due primarily to the architecture of the microcomputer, which makes its mode of operation relatively slow. Typically, a root-locus problem which may take a few seconds to solve
